Intro:
Gm  C-Csus4   Gm  C

Verse 1:
F            Dm
 Fading everything to black and blue
           Am
You look a lot like you'd
Cm                A#
Shatter in the blink of an eye
             Gm                C
But you keep sailing right on through
F                 Dm
 Every time you say you're learning
                Am
You just look a lot like me
Cm               A#
Pale under the blistering sky
          Gm             C
White and red  black and blue


Chorus 1:
Gm             C
  You've been waiting a long time
Gm             C
  You've been waiting a long time
        A#             F
To fall down on your knees
          C
Cut your hands
        Gm              A#
Cut yourself until you bleed
        F           Gm
Fall asleep next to me


Verse 2:
F            Dm
 Wait for everyone to go away
         Am        Cm                      A#
And in a dimly lit room where you've got nothing to hide
Gm               C
   Say your good-byes
F                  Dm              Am
 Tell yourself we'll read a note that says I'm sorry everyone
    Cm                   A#
I'm tired of feeling nothing goodbye
          Gm            C
Wash your face dry your eyes


Chorus 2:
Gm             C
  You've been waiting a long time
Gm             C
  You've been waiting a long, long time
        A#             F
To fall down on your knees
          C
Cut your hands
        Gm              A#
Cut yourself until you bleed
           F            C
But fall asleep next to me
       Gm                A#          F
Bave a dream I'm falling down on my face
          C               Gm                A#
Scrape my knees scrape my hands until they bleed
           F            Gm
Cause you're fast asleep next to me
        Gm
Next to me...
